The idea of being able to come up with a design on my own made me look forward to the shoot, but I was also very nervous wondering if I could actually pull off what we had in mind. Half the "battle" in PD-ing has always been executing the design. Plus, I had a lot more work on my hands juggling other shoots I was helping out with. I literally squeezed in my shopping and prep for this video during prepping for those other shoots, didn't even get to re-pack and organize the props according to the set up, and went from one shoot on a Saturday, to this shoot on Sunday, to an out-of-town shoot on the Monday that followed. It was a tiring weekend! But I came out alive, and I'm very happy with what I did. Super thank yous to Denise and Harold who helped out, and of course, my setmen! You think those curtains hung themselves? Hahaha! I couldn't have pulled off any of this without them. =)
Main set up
I was able to find the giant frames and the chair in Evangelista st.,
and bought a LOT of geena silk for the curtains.
Good thing it looks thicker on camera!
In this shoot, I also learned that wiring bulbs is no joke!
It took awhile to get those set up!
My friend Marco having fun between pole dancing shots.
Trying to be a DOP hehehe =)
Setting down.
I wasn't able to take "before" and "after" pictures,
but you can see a little of what the studio looked like
without the par lights and curtains.
It took us around 5 hours to set up everything,
but just around 30 minutes to take it all down. =( Haha!
I saw the video once on Myx, but don't have a copy yet! I'll get one soon and post it! =)
